[Stuffed]

Hosting one of these to put further pressure on myself in the new year, to reach my own goal of 185lbs by March 31 2016, and to help motivate others!

I'll provide the spreadsheet here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing

Weigh-ins are Thursdays, on the following dates:
January 7th
January 14th
January 21st
January 28th

February 4th

February 18th
February 25th

March 3rd
March 10th
March 17th
March 24th
March 31st

Post your start weight and goal weight for all to see, and PM me with the same so I can put you in the spreadsheet.

In the meantime, have a great couple of weeks with holidays and good food!

[live4gs]

In on this if it will be ok to post my weight on dec 27 or jan 4. I won't be around my scale or web during the week.

[NitrogenWidget]

In on this.

Was 217 a few months ago.
Plan to be under 200 by new years eve.

Plan to cut down to mid 170's by end of this.

will post pics and weight new years eve before festivities.

[stingray72]

Im in but im only doing small deficits 2 times a week long term. (Prob 2 to 2 and half years) Im up in the 150's but I need to get a reliable scale.

[jimbo9907]

In for this. I want to cut 3 more months minimum.

[robthefool]

In!

I'm currently at 193lbs down from 203lbs at the end of October, but had a bit of a bad run in November with motivation and cheat days. Looking to get down to 170-175lbs. By end of December I'm aiming for 189lbs so I'm hoping that by the end of February I can hit at least 175

No problem mate. Just step on the scale on i.e Dec 27, and then put that as your start weight. The first weigh-in is January 7th!

[KikiLicious]

Totally in on this.. I'm already on a cut but I like having a place where I can post numbers and cheer on others.

I'm deployed so not really getting any holiday festivities out here. I've been trying to eat clean for the remaining time I have left here. Although I've been losing weight at a steady pace, I wanted to see if I could focus on making healthier choices with more nutrient dense foods.

I weigh daily so reporting in every Thursday won't be a problem.

SW: 150 - (18 Dec)
GW: 135 - (31 Mar)

I look forward to cutting with you guys! Happy Holidays!

[Stuffed]

I've added everyone to the spreadsheet so far. Report your start weight whenever you wish around January 1st.

Thanks.
I think the 27th will be a better start date. I hope it keeps me more accountable during that week.

Just get a digital one for like 30-50$. It's the loss that counts, not the weight, so it doesn't need to be 100% accurate unless you're an athlete competing within weight classes.

You bet dude. Added you!


I added two more columns to the spreadsheet. Goal weight, and remaining to goal. At least for me, it's motivating to have a "countdown"

[akki21]

Hey! No, lifts won't be included in the spreadsheet. That is purely for weight/fat loss, and not lifting. Besides, the more I add, the more I need to keep track of.

[Martial9]

Count me in. Sick of getting demotivated.. here is to 2016!

[grimj]

Getting in on this. I'm cutting already but I can use the motivation for the next few months. My weight right now is 202. My goal weight is to be around 185.

That's a fancy scale! lol I recently switched to an analog scale b/c my digital kept spitting out the same number while the analog scale showed a steady decline in weight.

I agree with the OP, all you need is a trend line.. not necessarily a "weigh and decipher bone and water weight" type of scale.

Sometimes we get caught up on the exact numbers that we lose sight of the big picture.

[getupflyaway]

Started at 225 in 2013 got to 175 in 2014

Now at 194 suspect 169 is my target

[calico57]

Sure I'm in. I don't care about official weigh-in days or spreadsheets or anything like that, but the thread should be good for motivation and/or discussion purposes. I'll hopefully be around 195-196 on 1/1 (199 now), so I'll set a tentative goal of 185 lbs for 3/31.

[Min125]

I am IN!

SW: 156.8 lbs (December 19, 2015)
GW: 140

[mhudsonfarmer]

I'm in! This will be good motivation as I'll be getting married 8 days after this ends. And actually starting my cut today, so couldn't be better timing.

Current weight: 198 lbs
Goal weight: 170 lbs

[Tigerbruh]

In of course

I'm probably going to end my cut around mid february though since I'm already starting to get some abs and I have less and less fat I can grab around my body, but maybe I'm just underestimating how much more I have to cut

[Psylas]

I'd like to join but won't be able to weigh in till Jan 21st. If that's ok I'm in.

[Ovara]

I would definitely like to join. Type 2 Diabetic effecting life in some ways. Im currently weighing 219 and I would like to hit the 190 marks or 180 help motivate me guys

[birdlegs]

I'm in even though I started Dec 1st. Just a little head start. Tried the last challenge, but had to quit due to getting swamped at work. Heading to Cancun in March, so I have a deadline this time. No excuses. Time to get busy.
